About my work:
As an integral facet of my spiritual and aesthetic practice within the schools of non-dual, intuitive discernment, my intimate engagement with visual art is an instrument for uprooting opaque settlements of the mind. Exploratory in nature, my artworks of geometric formations (yantra) are not considered means to individual self-expression, but reflect an investigation into the essence of perception, awareness, and existence. They probe the mystery of time, space, and Being, which call into question preconceived notions concerning the nature of identity and consciousness.
Translated into visual terms from spiritual intuitions, these nonrepresentational formations depict the primal source from which all phenomena manifest, by which all things subsist, and to which all things reintegrate. Furthermore, my work inquires how the viewer, upon closely contemplating visual relationships, can be incited to penetrate external aspects of form such that a clear space for direct awareness into the basis of being becomes possible. By revealing the inner qualities and processes of perceptual awareness, the works of art act as conduits between limited perception and spacious awareness through which the beholder expands his/her realm of embodiment. This is fundamental to my investigation of visual media's capacity to spontaneously evoke an immediate awareness of reality independent of any reasoning process.
